Could not download forward compatibility package for CUDA

General Usage

Just if anybody need it: I have found a solution.
In file “~/.julia/packages/CUDA/DfvRa/lib/cudadrv/CUDAdrv.jl” I found an “IF” operator which control the CUDA_compat downloading. Obviously, my CUDA toolkit 11.6 is a bit too old and CUDAdrv.jl try to download compatibility package.

    if getenv("JULIA_CUDA_USE_COMPAT", !hooked && !system_driver_loaded) && _system_version[] < v"11.7"

Solved it easily just switching off JULIA_CUDA_USE_COMPAT environment variable

export JULIA_CUDA_USE_BINARYBUILDER=false
export JULIA_CUDA_USE_COMPAT=false
